so as Ito distinguish The said invention consists of. means here` inaf'ter -lully described andv particularly set 'forth in the claim. 1

The annexed drawing and the following description set forth in detail certain means embodying my. invention, the disclosed means, however, embodying but one the` various mechanical 'iorins in which the principle ot the invention may be applied.

In said annexed drawing:

- Divisional walls 3 are provided, in this case two sets, which VYterm` a plurality of magazines lupon opposite'sid'es of the partition 2'.' These magazines are parallel and each comprises a compartment 5 having a thickness substantially equal'to'the thickness and width ot they coin' which it is adapt-ed to receive. Figure l illustrates a full sized embodiment of my invention adapted to receive dimes. v I

' The upper end 6 ot' each magazine is open and lorms an entrance opening, adjacent to each oit which is a small projection 7 which permits the entrance but prevents the withdrawal of the coin after having been inserted in the compartment. The bottom of each compartment is open, Figure 6, and forms a, discharge opening tor the coins. It will be noted that inasmuchas the compartments are ot a depth substantially equal to the thickness ot the coins. the latter are held in position in the magazine end to end, that is, with their circumlferences in Contact, as shown in Figure l..

The outer. wall oi :ich magazine is cut out as at S in Figure l, such cut out portion being ot' less width than the coin and of less length than the compartment. The pro vision ot this cut` out portion permits ot access to the coins whereby the latter may pushed and moved through the magazine.

While the device is performing its unetion as a savings bank, the discharge openlocking device which, in the illustrated embodiment of my invention, comprises a member 9, Figures (3 and 7, provided with top, bottom, side and end walls whereby the interior enclosed space l() is toi-lied. rihe ends l1 of this member 9 are provided with extensions l2, which are adapted to embrace the lower end oi the coin holder. Upon the interior of the member 9 is secured a standard 1.3 which forms a bearing 'lor a plunger ll. This plunger projects laterally *from the adjacent side of the member 9. and is termed with an upward.projection l5 provided with an inwardly projecting member i6. This latter member 16 is adapted to pass through an opening 1T in the adjacent wall of the coin holder. The plunger is further provided with a collar 18 between which and thestandard 13 isplaeed a coil .spring 19 normally inra stateof compression. vThe inner end ofthe plunger is provided With a shoulder 182L tand an adjacent beveled portionl 19.V This shoulder is normally engaged by a lug 20 lijor'ming the end of a spring'member 21 Whichhas its otherI end fixedly 'mounted on a cross piece 22 secured Within the compartment 10 of the member 9,.

The other end of the member 9 is provided t ywith a fixed member'23 projectihgpwardly Y and provided with an inwardly projecting portion 24 adapted to enter an opening 25,

jin the adjacent portion ofthe coin holder.

r A'key hole 27, :Figure 1, ispprovided into -Whichz a vkey A28 maybe insertedythe actua,- tion of which will lift the spring detcnt 21 and ths permittheplunger 14 to be actuated by the spring 19 and disengage the inwardly projecting portionl from the coin holder.4 This Vwill permit, as will be'readily niiderstood, the member 9 to be removed from the lower ehdA of the coin holder and the coins to be discharged therefrom man- 'of coins but preventingr removal thereof through said open end; a removable closiire for closingithe o'posite end of Said com# partment; and a ook for securing the closure in place.
